Clore married and settled on forty acres three and one-half miles west of Whiteland , he made up his mind not to be an ordinary , plant-by-the-phase-of-tlic-moon farmer . His father , John Clore , had been a farmer , and a good one , too . Young Clore decided to be a grower of corn . He would make his corn have class , the same as other farmers sought 10 have in their cattle and swine . The result is that today Clore can justly lay claim to the title of Corn King of the World , styled so by the awards committee at the national corn show in Omaha last ¦( . ar . Clore has attained a remarkable record as a congrower . The original forty acres of Johnson county farm land has grown to a tract of 128 acres , the rc &amp;gt; ult of his success as a grower of...

GERMANYSSUPERIOR ROADS By ROBERT J . THOMPSON , HANOVER , GERMANY PERHAPS Germany is not more noted for the excellence of its roads than other European countries , but it is not an extravagant statement to say that one never sees in any of the American Western states a country road as good as the poorest to be found here . While this is due principally to the scientific building and maintenance of public roads in Europe , it is , perhaps , likewise attributable in equal degree to the restriction of the highways to a reasonable and workable width . German roads are , perhaps , subjected to a hundred times more traffic than similar roads in the United States . These roads range from twenty to thirty feet in width , while in our Middle or Western states , where the traffic is comparatively light , we take land of an average of $ 100 per acre and cut it up with roadways sixty-six feet in width , practically two-thirds of the same being given over to weeds , which furnish an inexhaustibl...

In that year my father was attracted by the Guernsey cattle exhibited at the Walworth county fair by the late N . K .

From this small beginning our herd has increased , slowly at first , but steadily , until for se...

The Coming Universal Use of DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARATORS The same economical considerations which have already brought about the practically universal use of creamery and factory sizes of DE LAVAL Cream Separators are absolutely certain to accomplish the same result in the use of farm and dairy sizes of such machines within the next five years . This is no mere advertising claim but the simple statement of a conclusion based on the logic of facts as positive as to outcome as the solution of a mathematical problem . The same considerations of greater capacity ; closer separation , particularly under hard conditions ; better quality of cream and butter ; more economical operation , and greater durability are bound to ultimately accomplish the same result in the use of small as of large sizes of cream separators . But naturally it requires longer and is vastly more of an undertaking to educate the 2 , 500 , 000 present and prospective American users of farm sizes of separators as to the i...

(^ , — y The Passing of the Milk Factories Ihas been caused by I The Universal Adoption of Cream Gathering I The Vermont Farm Machine Company are the pioneers in the I cream gathering system . This cannot be successfully denied . I The farm or dairy sizes of the United States Cream Separators made such headway that the proprietors of milk factories , against their will , had to change . The farmers demanded it . Not 10 per cent of the whole milk factories of nine years ago are running today , as such . They have either closed up or changed to cream gathering . the more economical plan . Our would-be-com- ! petitors who are always claiming the earth cannot deny this fact . These would-be-competitors had been supporting the whole milk scheme and fighting the progressive cream gathering system . When they saw that their efforts were futile—that the change was bound to come—they tried to save what they could out of the wreck . If you have read their big blustering advertisements contain...
